“Jez, come over here.”
Even though my tone was a little harsh when I said that, it wasn’t because I was jealous -definitely not that…
“Master…” Still revelling in the bliss of the legendary head pat, she opened her eyes upon hearing my call then gingerly eyed the handsome Dark Elf. A second later, she came to a decision; she smiled apologetically at him then trotted over to sit by me.
My eyebrows jumped a little and I barely managed to control the smirk on my face: a complete victory.
It could be said that my presence was previously unknown until that very second. From the moment he stepped in, he only had eyes for Jezsere and no one else… Truly unforgivable! If there’s anyone I can’t stand, it’s these kinds of jock characters; they are basically the natural born enemy of us shut-ins. Now’s the time to snuff out that blasted sense of superiority of his and teach him the meaning of respect!
“You are…”
The handsome Dark Elf abruptly stopped talking right as he started. His eyes went wide and his normal icy expression was immediately replaced with an unmistakable sense of disbelief.
Hmph, I bet you didn’t expect that, did you? I’m a noble Fallen Angel. I bet you haven’t seen one, have you? Well, now you have, but there’s no need to thank your big brother over here, he’s just being his legendary self.
Even though I managed to suppress that Dark Elf pretty boy for a second with my natural born aura of dominance, I still had to verify what sort of relationship he had with Jezsere. Why did she betray me for him? I thought we agreed to be together forever?!
Hmph. I hope you two lovebirds end up as a pair of siblings. Assuming the both of you are even lovebirds…
I straightened my face and addressed Jezsere, “Who is this Dark Elf?”
Clearly my cold expression had worked on her as she dared not answer for a good two seconds. “… he is Jezsere’s older brother.”
“Older brother? By blood?”
“That’s right.” Jezsere nodded her head furiously. “Master, do you not like Jezsere’s brother?”
“…” And here I was thinking where the heck did this pretty boy suddenly pop out from… so he’s just her brother…
“Brother, this my master, Mo Ke.” While I was still in the midst of being shell shocked, Jezsere began introducing us to each other. “Master, this is Jezsere’s older brother.”
“Master?” The moment he heard her say the word master, the handsome Dark Elf immediately furrowed his brows. “Jez, what is all this master business about?”
“Master is master.” Because I was still bound up by spider silk, I could only sit there and allow Jezsere to hug me as she explained the situation. “Master is the best, master promised Jezsere that master would protect her forever!”
Hear that? How about you just hand your sister over to me, I’ll look after her from now on. As for you… who even needs a brother anymore? Just go lie in that corner over there with the rest of the outdated trash.
Normally, one would expect that handsome Dark Elf to be furious upon learning that Jezsere had suddenly become my property. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he even wanted to rip me to shreds right now. Yet when had reality ever followed my scenario? Upon hearing her say that, the handsome Dark Elf simply answered ‘Oh’, and that was it.
Wait, is that how a brother should be acting? Your younger sister was just sold to me and she’s even here counting that sum of money right now. That callousness towards your own sister… you’ll be single for your entire life! Also, don’t ask me what the connection is between the two.
In front of Reyage, Jezsere seemed to be a lot livelier. Just from that alone, one could see how much she relied on this older brother of hers -she even talked a lot more now.
“By the way, what are you doing here, brother?”
“I saw that you weren’t in your room, so I came over to check.” While his words might have sounded cold, his eyes were anything but. The look he gave her right now practically radiated with warmth and tenderness. “I had to go out for a little while. Next time, don’t run about when I’m not there.”
Hearing him worry and scold her at the same time, Jezsere couldn’t help but pout a little as she leaned in on my shoulders, “But master wanted to see Jezsere.”
Ah… I just want to hug her and bring her home with me right now!
Even though that was clearly an excuse on her part, Reyage still nodded his head and then posed a strange question, “this Master Mo Ke… is he the one?”
“That’s right.” Jezsere beamed from ear to ear. “Master’s the best, Master is going to protect Jezsere forever!”
“Then it’s fine.” Reyage turned towards me then. Even if he didn’t say it, I could see a maelstrom of emotions running through his crimson eyes right now. All that was left was how he planned on addressing this situation.
